dan lacey, painter of pancakes

minnesota, my home-state before i ventured westward, has one of the most under-rated art scenes in america, especially in minneapolis and st. paul. dan lacey, the painter of pancakes, is, in my humble opinion, a prime example of a great minnesota artist, not only on account of his fine paintings, but also because he tends to get sued for them.



orly taitz, an electorally-defeated republican politician from california, has filed papers with a court in the district of columbia, accusing lacey of intimidation and defamation, i think, all because he painted her giving birth to delicious pancakes.



i, for one, cannot imagine a greater honor than being painted by the painter of pancakes, whose previous subjects have included dr. house, josef stalin, and a naked obama wrestling a bear alongside a unicorn. he's also depicted a naked sarah palin riding atop a moose, with lady-bits and little brown bush visible to all. more of his works are available for viewing here .
